But then people can just remove what they said, instead of being responsible for it.

I don't care about whether an ideology is "necessary" or not,
I care about how to solve problems,
which is what everyone else should also care about.

But then people can just remove what they said, instead of being responsible for it.

Sometimes offensive material is best removed, even if it allows the person to avoid responsibility. Anyway, I think the ability to fix typos and update your posts outweighs that downside.

It's extremely easy to fix this. Stop Word from AutoCorrecting long dashes, the long horizontal rule, and the ellipsis, and then it'll be fixed. There's nothing I can do for the apostrophes, though.

Amen.

4. Fix the crappy search function.

Just use Google. :P

I also noticed you can't search again while in the search results and you need to navigate somewhere else to search again.

There's an easy fix to that. We could make it so an edited post would say "edited", and mafia games could simply ban the use of editing.

It's still annoying.

I'm in favor of this as well.

I'm in favor of 3, 5, and 6. Kind of leaning on 4.

We could also just have editing like Facebook does--it allows you to see what the post said before it was edited.

7. Allow us to make all-cap posts. People just use "nac" to get around it anyway.

Can you explain how to do this?

1. Make a long dash in Word, click on it so an underline appears, then hover your mouse over it until the AutoCorrect options pop up. Press Stop Automatically Creating Dashes. It'll now be simply --.

2. Repeat the same process with the ellipsis so it'll show up as regular three dots.

3. If you type "________________", Word will automatically make it into an HR (spreads across the whole page). Repeat the process to revert that permanently.

The only problem left is the apostrophe, and it's not really that hard to read it if ' is replaced with ". I just CTRL + F all the quotation marks to revert them back to apostrophes to be picky, but that's your choice.

I like nac tho :(

Why

"In case anyone hasn't noticed it, the West is in extremis. The undertaker is checking his watch at the foot of its bed, and there's a sinister kettle of croaking, money-feathered vultures on the roof."

This is not smart. Person X can heavily insult person Y, and then edit it to a compliment, meaning a punishment could be nonexistent.

There's not really enough here to mandate a change. It's not a major problem, and people seem to be debating and posting arguments just fine.

Does it?

Agreed lol

You can make it so mods are able to see the original post. I don't see this becoming a serious problem anyway.

That would require more work, but if the opportunity arises, we could try it

I've been a member of other forums which allow editing, and it wasn't a problem. Most people who have reason to delete their posts (posting offensive material, etc) don't care if they are seen as rude to begin with.
